Which brand is best?

Hello I want to get into hiking and camping next year and I am now looking for gear especially a jacket but also pants and shoes. Could someone tell me which brand i should go to for this stuff? At the moment I like Arcteryx the most for the jacket, because I also want it to look good, because I intend to also use it for the daily basis, running, biking, etc. Of course the thing with Arcteryx is that it‘s very expensive and I don‘t know if the price is worth it. For the pants and shoes I haven‘t really looked for yet, so I could need some help there too. I think I want to get two hiking pants one baggy one and one just normal one. Or can I just wear normal pants or jeans for hiking? For the shoes I have no idea, I just want them to be pretty simple, but I am open for everything there. It would also be helpfull if someone could tell me what type of equipment I need for the beginning. For the start I only want to do 1 day hikes so no tents or things like that yet. I hope someone can help me and thanks in advance!
